Yes this is a new new race and it is myself organising the event due to so many people that mist out on helsby and the brass monkeys.

The course is flat with 3 slight climbs in it which rise 5 to 6 metres over a1/4 mile and are well apart so to me a pb course.

If anyone fancies a recci on sunday morning and has a good GPS and would be willing to put it on this site we are setting of at 9.30am from the Derby arms pub which is the start of the race. If you need any more info give me a call on 07851412354 cheers Alan T.

Hi tortoise at the moment runners world are just opening it up to online so is ukresults but running diary are up and running ahead of everyone and www.shoestringresults.com should be up and running tonight.

How old are you and I'll give you your number to go with your age. But dont forget I only have 300 numbers HaHa.

Very interested in this , was thinking about the one on the 2nd january in the same area. This gives me a bit longer to recover after the Christmas binge . I think this will sell out very quickly , Alan would you be able to increase the number of entries above 300 if there is demand ?

Yes as we just need to up our numbers on the public liability insurance and with this being the first run then I would just like to put on a good event and let it get bigger on its own without the pressure. Thats why the closeing date is the 8th jan so we can decide to extend and get the logistics right so hopefully everyone goes away happy.

I'll sign up after tomorrows club night , hope I can rope a few others into doing it Alan forgot about all the hassle you get when organising a running event . This will fit in well with my target of doing the Liverpool half then the Manchester marathon.

Great stuff as I put on an earlier reply I am running the course on sunday at 9.30am so any of you want a recci fell free to join me no matter what your pace is the more the better and can have a drink in the pub after

No they are not allowed as you are on open roads and need to be able to here traffic and the instructions of the marshalls as there are to junctions that you must cross and be able to here the marshalls and you should be listening to your body not music hope this does not put you of as it is a great course to run cheers Alan T.
